In cpu_exec() we have a longstanding workaround for compilers which
do not correctly implement the part of the sigsetjmp()/siglongjmp()
spec which requires that local variables which are not changed
between the setjmp and the longjmp retain their value.
I recently ran across the upstream clang bug report for this; add a
link to it to the comment describing the workaround, and generally
expand the comment, so that we have a reasonable chance in future of
understanding why it's there and determining when we can remove it,
assuming clang eventually fixes the bug.
Remove the /* buggy compiler */ comments on the #else and #endif:
they don't add anything to understanding and are somewhat misleading
since they're sandwiching the code path for *non*-buggy compilers.
